Al Tonno di Corsa

We discovered a true gastronomic paradise for seafood lovers on the island of San Pietro! 🐟 Tuna takes center stage, from classic tartare and carpaccio to refined hot dishes, while octopus and other fresh delights from the sea are equally exquisite. Every plate is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, featuring the freshest ingredients and elegant presentation. The island’s unique culinary tradition makes every bite an authentic taste of San Pietro.

A very small walk away from the charming streets of Carloforte, Al Tonno di Corsa may offer a dining experience that captures the soul of the island’s culinary tradition—especially when you opt for the Menu di Degustazione. We were lucky to be seated at a lovely table, setting the mood for what became a nice evening. The star of the meal was without doubt the filletto di tonno—tender, flavorful, and a beautiful tribute to Carloforte’s passion for tuna. Each course brought something traditionally linked to Carloforte to the table, highlighting fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. A Bravo to the kitchen. 🌟Dino, the sommelier, was a refreshing surprise. His explanations of wine pairings and dishes were not only informative but delightfully humorous, giving the evening a warm and engaging touch. He and the kind-hearted boss brought a sense of welcome and hospitality that made us feel at ease. 👎 However, service overall lacked the finesse and professionalism one might expect at a place of this caliber. Outside the commendable efforts of the boss and Dino, the rest of the staff didn’t quite match the standard set by the kitchen. If you're after outstanding seafood and a few good laughs with your wine, Al Tonno di Corsa is absolutely worth a visit—just don’t expect perfection in the service department. I want to underline here also the excellent quality price ratio of the menu di degustazione.

Ambience is nice but food was a disappointment. We ordered the tuna antipasti platter - which was ok. Duo of soups was pretty good. The ventresca we ordered was overcooked; hard and chewy and a lot of skin with scale. Disappointing. The chef “killed” the ventresca.

Fantastic food. The tuna steak (blue) was spot on. Even our l 5 yo really enjoyed his seafood tagliatelle and aubergine side and he’s still somewhat conservative with food🤭

Lovely dinner, with tuna main ingredient. The tasting menu is more delicious and gives you the chance to try a lot of different local dishes. Price is great (€39 pp). In the picture one lovely tuna based starter and other dishes. Our favourite restaurant in Carloforte.

We were welcomed by Segundo and Alessandro, who looked after us and explained everything. We had the tasting menu of four courses, and tuna served 7 different ways and then lemon sorbet to clear the palate 😋. It's the food that matters here, not the view. It is tucked away slightly up the hill from the sea front, but has a light airy balcony. Hope to return to explore particular dishes a bit more.

5 overall. Fantastic night (5/5 food, 5/5 service, 5/5 atmosphere). We booked several days in advanced and got a seating right in the terrace. Beautiful area and open. Food was fantastic. We had the tasting which included appetizers, 2 pasta dishes and the tuna (along with sorbet at the end). We also added the crudite. The ingredients were super fresh, and the plates themselves were quite simple but still incredibily delicious. Definitely one of the better restaurants in the area. Wine choices were also extensive and had a wide variety. Staff were super friendly and helpfull. Overall value for money was fantastic, we had exceptional quality, both food and drink and totally filled for just over 115 euros. Fantastic

The delicious trip through the traditional cuisine of tuna fish of Carloforte, with its unique creations by the very warm welcoming chef de cuisine. Very warm welcome by the staff, too, and cosy ambiente. Never tried before such an incredible variety of tuna fish sophisticated dishes. Definitely not to be missed when you visit Carloforte.
